[Orgmode] Re: Patch: org-reload changes default-directory

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi Sebastian,

excellent catch, thank you very much!  This was one difficult
to trace bug.

I have applied you patch and modified it a bit further, by
wrapping it in unwind-protect.  So even if the version computation
throws an error, the working directory will be restored.

P.S.  In fact, Bernt did try to restore the working directory
      in his original org-version function, but that code was
      not always executed due to badly placed parenthesis.
